Each Release With New Functionality Has A Increased Version Number. The Prefix A,B,.. Following The Version Number Means The Same Version With Known Bugs Fixing.

v. 1.112 - Added functionality of FTP client. This working with images of user FTP servers and (IP) cameras (Web preview, upload to web site and download to local PC). Automatic transfering images from FTP servers and their folders to the local PC folders and to website database. It is possible to register and connect any amount of cameras to watch, transfer and download images. Web service for transfer, publicate and watch (IP) cameras images via web site is optional payent service available by separate request. It is working via prozarium.ru web site only. You can watch and share images from allsky cameras, telescopes, secure, etc. -Improvements and bugs fixing, as usual.

v. 1.111 - Added functionality to create a color image from separate b/w RGB channels. At input is used three channel R, G and B sums (in any format) and output result is a color image in .tiff. Mechanism is easy to use and convenient. The file of the desired channel is set via the menu in the file list, as the corresponding R, G, or B component, and at screen RGB combibed image is constructed in real time. Histogram settings of the of any channel can be changed at real time and see their resulting effect on the white balance and the final histogram of RGB composition. Alignment of separate channels can be done along the way. Saving the current RGB composition is done by selecting an item in the context menu on the picture, or by selecting the appropriate operation on the "Stack, postprocess" tab. More visual, simple and convenient mechanism simply does not exist.

v. 1.110 - Added ability to apply median filter to aligned source images before stacking them. It significally helps to clear the source files and summ from satellite tracks, cosmic rays, noise, etc. This realised as a separate operation. -A Help file extended and reformatted: -Added table of contents with links to appropriate sections. -Added sections conserning working with detected stars, image and stars statistics, reference points, recognition of identical stars in a series of images and using it in images align operations. -Added screenshots for most of help articles.

v. 1.109 - Finding and recognizing stars algorithm improved. Trial period for using demo version limited to 30 days.

v. 1.108 - Added finding and recognizing stars on selected images by using reference points defined on master image. Operation uses any template with 4 stars and finds it on other images. After recognize operation completed with success you can easilly align image to fit it with master image. Be sure this stars successfully detectes for all of destination images.

v. 1.107 - Added step for improved automation of images align by reference points. This includes auto detecting stars for any of selected images or for image series. Auto generating reference points for image series will coming soon too. - Added manual defining of a new not autodetected stars for desired coordinates on image. Now it is possible to add a star and reference point for images with different or not equal arrays of autodetected stars. - Added image file renaming on the fly. - Redesigned and improved UI.

v. 1.106 - Added substracting dark and flat images from image series. It is mostly nessesary for removing amplifier glow from lights. First you need to substract dark & flat from lights, then align and calibrate image pairs without dark and flat.

v. 1.105 - Critical bugs were fixed.

v. 1.104 -Added support for IP cameras file name format with a time stamp in the file name. First you need to create sequence for this files which does their renaming adding to file name the prefics with digital counter. Then make avi as usual using ffpmpeg (Create AVI PGMania operation). For frames with JPEG format is used libx264 codec as default. - Some bugs were fixed.

v. 1.103 -The program has been translated on new base libraries versions of OpenCV and ImageMagick. This allowed to apply new more effective mechanisms of image recognition and construction. - Added a new alignment mechanism based on using generated stars map in the image. The number of detected stars is determined by the user itself. Star map may be saved as separate file. - Improved UI and fixed known bugs including those affecting on aligning and calibrating a series of images. - Added A New Alignment Mechanism Based On Using Generated Stars Map In The Image. The Number Of Detected Stars Is Determined By The User Itself. Star Map May Be Saved As Separate File. - Improved UI And Fixed Known Bugs Including Those Affecting On Aligning And Calibrating A Series Of Images.

v. 1.102 -Online Registration And Activation Of Pgmania Is Now Available! Use Direct Link In Programm For This. - Adding Support For Most Of Known DSLR Image Types. - Improved Functionality And Speeds, Redisigned Interface. - Known Bugs Fixed And Code Refactoring Was Done.

v. 1.101 -Added Reducing Image Size Alghrithm For Better Recognition Functionality While Aligning Image Pairs. - Added Max Offset Limits For Image Displacement And Rotation While Auto Aligning Images Pairs. Limits Can Be Set For Each Image Or For Whole Folder. - Added More Flexible Analisys For Estimate Aligning Results. Only Well Aligned And Fitted Images Are Allowed To Calibration And Stacking.

v. 1.100 -Added Resizing Images For A New Size In Pixels Or To Percentage Of Original Image Size.

v. 1.099 -Added More Automation To Aling And Calibration Processes, Improve Performance And Usability. - Added Maintenance Of Operations List With Image Files And Information Storing About Master Images Used While Processing The Image Pair. It Is Easy To See And Restore Processing History. -'Serial' Stack And 'In Pairs' Stack Algorithms Now Uses SNR Analizes For Optimal Stacking And Use Images Sorting Based On SNR Values While Stacking To Optimise The Final Result. - Known Bugs Fixed And Code Refactoring Was Done.

v. 1.098 -Added One More Algorithm For Calibration - 'Selective'. It Uses Both 'And' Algorithm And 'Or' Algorithms For Each Calibrating Images Pair, Analizing The Resulting Images For Ghosts, Fwhm And SNR, And Taking The Best Resulting Images Pair - One Calibrated Image From 'And' Algorithm And Another Calibrated Image From 'Or' Algorithm).

v. 1.097 -Added One More Algorithm For Align And Calibrate Image Series Via Setting Reference Points In Images. - Detecting Algorithms Improved Functionality And Speeds. Also Increased Its Recognition Reliability. - Added Fixing Histogram Settings For All Folder Images. Each Image Stores Its Own Settings Which Can Be Switched Or Replace By The Common Folder Settings.

v. 1.095 -Added Calculating Of Fwhm, Snr And Star Magnitudes For Detected Stars And Average Fwhm/Snr For Whole Images. - Added Fields For Image Resolution And Pixel Size. This Settings Used In This Calculations. - Added Ability To Set Desired Magnitude For Any Reference Star And Recalculate Stars Statistics. - Added Ability To Flip Images Horisontally Or Vertically. - Added Showing A Histogram For Any Of Selected Star From Detected Stars List Or For A Star Selected At Image. <
br />v. 1.094 -Added Stars Detection For Any Deep Sky Image. Added Ability To Composite Original Image With A Star Map. - Added List With Detected Stars And Ability To Mark A Star From A List On The Star Map. Also It Is Possible To Find A Star In List By Click It Directly On The Image. - XML Log File Now Created For Every Folder You Work With. Log Contains Description For Last Operationwith Image, Used Master Image, Operation Results, Image Offsets And Detected Stars List. - Added Ability To Add Any Text Markers To The Image With A Font Size You Like. - Added Easy To Use Direct Saving Of Original Image With Applying Its Histogram Adjustments And Align Movements To A New File With A Similar Name. - Added Ability To Make A Full Frame Screenshot With Detected Stars And User Text Markersplaced On The Image.

v.1.04 -Added Support For Rawvideo, Which Makes It Possible To Obtain AVI To Rawvideo Format Directly From The Photo Series, Suitable For Direct Work With Programs Such As Autostakkert And So Forth. Thus Eliminating The Need For Intermediate Conversion 16 Bit AVI To SER. However, For Raw Video Frame Written In 16Bpp Format Y800, Or As RGB555, And That Formats With 8 Bits, Making Raw Video Format Is Of Little Use If The Source Code Of 16 Bits.
